Awesome thanks much!
GX550 Mudflaps
- Thread starter supersix
- Start date
Sorry but this is painful to look at...
Installed el-cheapo China mudflap set from ebay. $40 shipped was hard to pass up. Couple notes: Check your plastic threaded retaining nuts holding the rear "felt liner" in place. See 1st. pic. Mine were all completely loose and needed several turns to snug up. Otherwise this was an easy install and the fit and quality is great for my needs. Zero offroading and only looking for snow and winter road grunge protection.

Agree, found new ones that actually fit with the running boards. JAOS on rear.

Nice recovery! Looks great.
Nice! That front one looks to be miniaturized.
If they’re OEM I’m betting the quality is great.
It was the Canadian Toyota website that I noticed that the fronts were fitted as standard. We only get the rear as standard in Aus. I reached out to a dealer in Canada and they gave me the part numbers which I passed onto my dealer. They had to make a request to Lexus Au to get approval to order. Slowly working on other accessories we don’t get… Boot Liner and Blackout Badges are the first 2 coming to mind.
Amazon has some for GX550. I am thinking to get those for my GX550 Luxury...
Same ones I bought. Great option for the price. Couple challenges with the install I can help with if you run into issues.
I would be careful ordering those. I ordered a similar kit for my Premium+ and while the fronts fit, the rears did not. I believe there is a difference between the OT and non-OT rear bumpers after doing a little bit of research.
Thanks! I want a perfect fit (OEM like). I don't want to drill any new holes, etc. The item description does say it's for Overtrail too, so I believe there may be indeed a difference in design.
Interesting...Now the video shows the guy installing this on a Toyota not a GX550...
Thanks! What challenges did you encounter?
They include longer plastic body rivets which are necessary but they were larger in dia. Than factory which requires drilling out the hole. Zero room to drill unless the wheel is turned full lock or removed. There’s a clip that looks like it should have a threaded hole but it’s simply a clasp used to secure the flap to existing molding. Threaded clasps all had to be drilled out as they were undersized and were requiring to much torque to tighten. Typical cheap hardware kit but if you take your time and tweak a few things it all goes together fine.
Thanks for the additional info. I will wait for the OEM like version. This seems too much adjustment. FYI I submitted an ask to WeatherTech for them to produce those. Hopefully either they or Lexus will do soon.
